Defined in header <ratio>
template<     std::intmax_t Num,     std::intmax_t Denom = 1 > class ratio;		(since C++11)

The class template std::ratio provides compile-time rational arithmetic support. Each instantiation of this template exactly represents any finite rational number as long as its numerator Num and denominator Denom are representable as compile-time constants of type std::intmax_t. In addition, Denom may not be zero and may not be equal to the most negative value.

The static data members num and den representing the numerator and denominator are calculated by dividing Num and Denom by their greatest common divisor. However, two std::ratio with different Num or Denom are distinct types even if they represent the same rational number (after reduction). A ratio type can be reduced to the lowest terms via its type member: std::ratio<3, 6>::type is std::ratio<1, 2>.

Several convenience typedefs that correspond to the SI ratios are provided by the standard library:
